[KPA500] New amp and tuner working perfectly, one simple question

[W5UXH]

UPS delivered around 4 PM yesterday.  Could not completely switch over to the new setup last night, but did it at 5:30AM this morning.  It all integrates and does exactly what it should, really nice features!

My question is very simple and totally unimportant.  I notice the LCD has a symbol on the left that I think indicates when the KEY_OUT line from the K3 is asserted.  I would guess that is all it does.  I have not found any reference to it in the manual and a search of postings does not lead me to similar queries, but it is not easy to formulate the query.

Can someone enlighten me?

I received a quick answer offline, pointing me here:

I believe you are referring to the asterisk that is described on page 9 of the owner's manual (last two sentences in point 2 under Transmitting).

I even recognize the alternate function described so I have clearly read that section in the past, but it did not jump out at me when looking for it

Look on page 9.  The asterisk indicates a valid PA key signal.
Underscore indicate INHIBIT.
